JUNE 2012 Dragon Hillclimb NEEDS VOLUNTEERS…. HOW ABOUT YOU?

We have feedback from drivers and spectators that tell us that the next Chasing the Dragon will likely DOUBLE in drivers and spectators! That is wonderful news and we are thrilled… but guess what else that means? It means we will need more help to make this event happen.

There are MANY areas you can help. Don’t worry about being trained or experienced… we will put you with trained personnel and let you learn and work with them. We need people in :

Timing and Scoring

Corner Working

Grid & Paddock

Registration

Tech

Parking

If you are working a corner (not quite as racy as it may sound), we will see to it you are moved after every couple of run groups so you get different views of the action. If you are working parking, you will only work a half day and be free to watch the rest of the day. Worker meals are provided each day and for the Saturday night social. This is a great time to get caught up with friends and talk about action of the day! The view at the Maple Gap Observation Deck at day break is something you really need to see… absolutely beautiful.

It’s not too early to VOLUNTEER! Please send an email and let us know what areas you would be interested in working. We’ll start putting together work assignment groups soon for the June 2012 event . Having plenty of workers makes it so all of us can work and still have plenty of time to enjoy the show. Thanks again to all who volunteered last year! We look forward to seeing you at the Dragon in June!

SCCA HILLCLIMB RACING!!!!

Welcome to the Chasing the Dragon Hillclimb website! The Dragon Hillclimb is a Sports Car Club of America Time Trial event - competition licensed drivers in prepared sports cars race one at a time up a 2 mile mountain road in class competition. The course is located near The Tail of the Dragon in beautiful Robbinsville, NC - Graham County. The road we race is on the edge of the Nantahala Forest where spectators, course workers and drivers enjoy some of North Carolina's most beautiful mountain scenery! We invite you to join us as a driver, a worker, event staff or as a spectator for a true SOUTHERN tradition that began in the 50's...HILLCLIMB! There is nothing like it !
